This photo of James Dean was new to me. Probably not widely published because Dean is a bit out of focus. But I love it. It’s by the photographer Dean Stock, who made so many iconic pictures of Dean. Like most photographers I’ve had the good fortune to host (we did a panel of Magnum luminaries), Stock was a quiet unassuming man, even somewhat uncomfortable in the position of being the subject. Of course I wanted to ask Stock every question he’s been asked before about Dean, but I restrained myself.
